CLEVELAND GOING TO ST. LOUIS.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-The President
will go to st. Louis after all 1t is well I'M
derstoOd that he will accept the new invita-
ton which the big committee, representing
the State of Missouri, as well as the city of
st. Louis, to visit St Louis during the ex-
position, will bring him when he gets back
from New York. His purpose is to visit st.
Louis during the first or second week in
October, going thence to Atlanta, instead of
returning here first If he carries out this
plan he will travel through the greater
portion of the South and Southwest. AS
soon as he returns from New York he will
complete his arrangements for the trip.
Since his letter announcing that it had be-
come impossible for him to visit st. Louis
during the Grand Army Republic encamp-
ment was published the President has re-
ceived scores of letters from the West and
Southwest applauding his action, but urging
him to visit St Louis after the Grand Army
Republic encampment has adjourned. He
is assured by the st. Louis men a much
greater reception than he would have had
had he gone in response to the first invita-
ton.
